Gun Sales Soaring

President-elect Barack Obama's stance as an Illinois state lawmaker on gun control has sales booming. Nationally, gun sales have been up 8 to 10 percent. In Sharonville, Target World is holding an "Assault Weapons Ban Sale."

It's reaction to Obama's support of a ban on all forms of semiautomatic weapons and tighter state restrictions on firearms.

On Wednesday, people lined up outside of Target World for their sale, which continues through November 9.

Their ad refers to Obama as "the worst possible candidate for your second amendment rights." It says the sale includes some of the firearms that would potentially fall under a new assault weapons ban, should there be one.
